Using the latest update of Obsidian and all plugins.
Here’s a screen shots of the book note for A Reporter’s Life and for the Walter Cronkite note where the dataview query should display at least one book, but doesn’t. “author” is a list and I’m using “contains” in the Where clause. What am I doing wrong?
Hi @stevepdx , welcome to the Obsidian community! Fellow user here.
I think the disconnect between your data and your query is likely in the ‘author’ field.
Could you post the raw YAML of your “A Reporter’s Life” page? That would help us see if the contains() function is the right one for this case.
Hello.
If the authors are links, try:
WHERE contains(author, [[Walter Cronkite]])
Perfect! Thanks
